Small measurement

I went for my 34 wk appointment (I'm 33+6) and midwife used measuring tape to measure my belly. Im 1cm smaller than supposed to be. Is there a reason to be worried? I've been scheduled for a scan before 36wks to measure baby and hope it all goes well. I've also been diagnosed with GD but wouldn't that make me at risk of having a larger baby? A few blood tests will also be done and they said if my blood glucose isn't stable, baby might need to be delivered earlier. Having a baby is sooo stressful, I have no idea how we do this! Lol!

My OB told me that they allow 2 cm range, high or low, to be in the "normal" zone.

my bump has been measuring several cm "small" since 26 weeks..I'm now 36 weeks, I've had 2 growth scans and both times his measurements on the ultrasound have been within a normal range. Some women just have small bumps!
